WORLD STEEL IN FIGURES 2017 TABLE OF CONTENTS FOREWORD Foreword ...........................................................................................3 This year we are celebrating our 50th anniversary but of course this Celebrating 50 years of the World Steel Association ............................4 publication will largely report on last year 2016. Much has changed in 50 years – back in 1967, the world produced just less than 500 million CRUDE STEEL PRODUCTION tonnes of steel. In 2016, the world produced just over 1,600 million World crude steel production, 1950 to 2016 ........................................7 tonnes. Most of the growth came from new industrialising nations – Top steelmakers, 2016........................................................................8 Brazil, China, India, Iran and Mexico. Major steel-producing countries, 2015 and 2016 .................................9 Steel as a product is so versatile and fundamental to our lives that it is Crude steel production by process, 2016 .......................................... 10 considered essential to economic growth. Consequently, for most of the Continuously-cast steel output, 2014 to 2016 ����������������������������������� 11 past 50 years, the world has been producing increasingly more steel Monthly crude steel production, 2013 to 2016 ����������������������������������� 12 and sometimes more than was actually required – while at the same time, making the product universally affordable and promoting intense STEEL USE competition between its producers. Steel production and use: geographical distribution, 2006 ................. 14 In the global markets we operate in, fierce competition for trade will Steel production and use: geographical distribution, 2016 ................. 15 remain, with the present push to protect domestic markets probably Apparent steel use, 2010 to 2016...................................................... 16 continuing for the next few years. But we believe that it is crucial for Apparent steel use per capita, 2010 to 2016 ..................................... 17 policies to continue to promote a level playing field between countries RAW MATERIALS and regions. Trade based on free and fair access to markets have served society best in providing steel to build our economies at most Pig iron, 2015 and 2016 .................................................................... 18 affordable terms. Direct reduced iron production, 2009 to 2016 ����������������������������������� 19 Iron ore, 2015 ...................................................................................20 On page 4 and 5 you will find a spread outlining the many programmes World iron ore trade by area, 2016 .................................................... 21 we have managed since our start. It is interesting to note that innovation, sustainability and environmental standards have figured prominently as Trade in ferrous scrap, 2015 and 2016 ..............................................22 far back as 1967. The steel industry has always been at the forefront of World trade in ferrous scrap by area, 2016 ����������������������������������������23 driving efficiency and improvement through its manufacturing process STEEL TRADE and this will continue over the next 50 years. World steel trade in products, 1975 to 2016 ....................................... 24 This booklet provides a comprehensive overview of steel industry World volume of trade, 2000 to 2016 ................................................ 24 activities, stretching from production to steel use to some indications of World steel exports, analysis by product, 2011 to 2016 ...................... 25 global trade flows.
